22nd Street station is a station on the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail (HBLR) in Bayonne, Hudson County, New Jersey. Located between East 22nd and East 21st Streets in Bayonne, the station is the second of four stops in the city. The station contains two tracks with a set of two side platforms, an outlier from the other stations of Bayonne, which all contain island platforms. 22nd Street serves two different services, the local line between 8th Street in Bayonne and Hoboken Terminal. It also serves the Bayonne Flyer, an express between the four Bayonne stops and Hoboken. The station is handicap accessible with elevators and platform levels that meet the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 standards. 22nd Street opened on November 15, 2003 as an extension from 34th Street, serving as the terminal until 8th Street opened on January 31, 2011.[2] [3]
22nd Street is built next to the site of a station for the Central Railroad of New Jersey that once existed on the location. Known originally as Centerville (later East 22nd Street), the stop served the main line as one of five stops in Bayonne. Service at Centerville began on August 1, 1864 as part of a steam extension between the future Communipaw Terminal and Bergen Point. This service existed prior to the construction of the bridge across Newark Bay from Elizabethport to Bergen Point. A station was built on the eastbound side of the tracks in 1878 at the size of NaNfeet, two stories high. A station was also built on the westbound side in 1904. These depots were demolished in 1957, with the eastbound station being converted into a shelter. That in return was torn down in 1970 and replaced with a three-sided metal shed. Passenger service at East 22nd Street ended on August 6, 1978 when Conrail ended the shuttle between Cranford and East 33rd Street.[4]

Only the southbound platform has access to the streets. At the north end, a staircase leads down to the south side of 22nd Street between Avenue E and Prospect Avenue. The south end entrance contains an elevator for ADA access with a brick enclosure and a staircase down to the north side of 21st Street. Each entrance area has a small canopy with ticket vending machines and validators (making the platforms a fare paid zone). Pedestrian crossings at either end provide access to and from the northbound platform.
One block from the station is a 159 space park and ride lot.
